12. ICE is the secret police and they exist now solely to go after Trump's enemies

People think it doesn't effect them, but it does, ICE can come after you no matter your immigration status, race, or profession.

A little story about this. Coworkers parents were visiting their daughter overseas early this Summer. This is an older white couple in their 60s, from West Michigan, they're Dutch. When they went through customs at JFK in New York, ICE singled them out to go through their phones, they were made to think they would be detained if they refused access to their phones. Well, ICE did detain them after they found political posts critical of Donald Trump on their Facebook pages. They spent 6 hours in a small room being harassed and grilled by ICE agents about their social media posts before finally being released after having missed their connecting flight, they had to book new and more expensive flights to finally make it home. They were offered no food and had to beg for water during this 6 hour interrogation. The last 2 hours they begged to use a bathroom and were denied until they finally were released.

This is happening in America right now. And it's only going to get worse. ICE is going to be patrolling the polls with machine guns in minority districts next Fall, count on that.
